A detailed investigative report by the New York Times, ProPublica and the PBS series 'Frontline' titled 'In 2008 Mumbai Killings, Piles of Spy Data, but an Uncompleted Puzzle,' said that LeT, whose initial focus was India and Kashmir, later became increasingly interested in the West.
Lashkar-e-Taiba's alliance with the ISI, its "powerful patron", came "under strain as some of the militants pushed for a Qaeda-style war on the West," the report said.
"As a result, some ISI officers and terror chiefs decided that a spectacular strike was needed to restore Lashkar's cohesion and burnish its image," the report said, citing interviews and court files.
